The Bird Henge Ramblers' Trail starts and finishes at the Prince Leopold Inn, Upton Lovell near Warminster in the Wylye Valley Wiltshire BA12 0JP. The Trail is approximately 3.33 miles 5.66 kilometers long. It is in a figure of eight with Knook at the middle of the eight. The terrain is all flat. There are gates to open and shut but no stiles. There are mud and cow pats. Stage 12 can become very difficult in wet weather and it may be best from Heytesbury Mill to retrace your steps along the north side of the river back to Knook and thence to Upton Lovell
